Update: 6/16/15:
So I smed chase again and got the same response, denying to match to 140k. I then called Chase and got a very nice rep who tried to match it for me but was unsuccessful. It said in her system that they were only matching to 140k credit cards that were applied before April 30th. I applied May 14th. She then gave me 5k Ritz points as a courtesy and told me to try to call Ritz Rewards and ask them to replace my 2 free nights with the equivalent amount of points (probably not 140k). I did just that and the Ritz rep said she cannot do that. Blah blah.....
This really sucks <img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/tapatalk-emoji/emoji35.png" />

Update: 3/23/15: Many recent reports of successful match to 140k offer via SM
Updated link: https://creditcards.chase.com/credit-cards/ritz-carlton-card.aspx
Standard offer is for 2 free nights at Ritz Cat 1-4 which is not too bad either.

Update 2/9/15: DEAD     
current offer  140k bonus points +$300 airline credit annual fee 395 not waived
link https://www.theritzcarltonrewardscard.com/offer140k

To get $300 airline credit call 1-855-896-2222
don't buy gift cards from Chase affiliated airlines (United, SW..)
As Chase may be able to see what you purchased

JetBlue seat upgrades and delta seat upgrades worked for me.
Airline GC are very YMMV as there are reports of chase asking for receipts.
(Seat upgrades are officially covered in the T & C.)

i thought the priority pass free guest access only was available to authorized users on the ritz card? or is that only for the reserve?

i called ritz CS before asking for details on the number of free guests allowed under their PP plan, but couldn't get a clear answer.
Available for both. Unlimited.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Are resort fees charged to the CC used when booking or when checking in? Can I add a second guest online or do I need to call up?

I rarely ever use this card so I reduced my CL  sometime ago and now trying to take advantage of the $300 travel credit for 2017. Looked at jetblue refundable and upgrade but  the total comes to way more than my CL. What else can I do to get the $300 credit?

AA gift card may or may not work  and resell value is not good I think.

buy the ticket with a different card and just buy the upgrade with the ritz Carlton card. And you're not fooling anyone with the I barely use this card so I lowered my credit limit

Why point it out? Those who know, aren't fooled and those who are fooled don't know they are being fooled to begin with

Second of all, he should have just said my credit line is low, no point in making up an unnecessary obvious lie.

I'm not saying he should have said that but there's also no gain in pointing it out.

It's the cumulative effect which kills things. Less is more.
